America's Counter-Revolution

The Constitution Revisited

From the back cover:

This book challenges the assumption that the Constitution was a landmark in the struggle for liberty. Instead, Sheldon Richman argues, it was the product of a counter-revolution, a setback for the radicalism represented by America’s break with the British empire. Drawing on careful, credible historical scholarship and contemporary political analysis, Richman suggests that this counter-revolution was the work of conservatives who sought a nation of “power, consequence, and grandeur.” America’s Counter-Revolution makes a persuasive case that the Constitution was a victory not for liberty but for the agendas and interests of a militaristic, aristocratic, privilege-seeking ruling class.

Exciting things are happening in Irvington/Atlanta. FEE will revitalize its efforts by focusing on introducing students (16-24) to free-market economics. The organization decided that someone else would be better suited to edit The Freeman under these circumstances.

Introducing young people to free-market economics is fine and dandy, but it's too bad the decision-makers thought you couldn't/wouldn't be suitable for that. I know of a few university age persons who appreciate your work.

More and more people are reaching my blog with a Google search for "why was sheldon richman fired" and "sheldon richman quit", etc.

Do the honorable thing for once in your life and disclose the reasons FEE junked you like a half-eaten burrito, because no one is dumb enough to believe that "exciting things are happening" crap (other than your usual followers, who would believe that the moon doesn't exist if you told them so).
